If you love to travel, then London is the place for you! During summer the weather there is
perfect for walking around and for sweaters. The weather is usually cloudy and the
temperature is usually always around 65-75 degrees. You could even take a train ride down to
Paris, but the only downside is that it is a very long train ride its about 2 hours to get there. So if
you are willing to ride the train then going to Paris would be an amazing experience.
There are many places to go in London, there are many attractions such as castles and different
palaces that you can walk and take tours in as well. One of the older castles there is called the
Tower of London. It is home to the Yoeman Warriors along with many ravens who are there
to help protect the Crown Jewels. The Tower of London is also known to be haunted, due to all of
the executions that happened there. One of the towers on the castle is a square which is why
they call it the Tower of London. It is also one of the oldest structures in London being built in
the 1000’s. It is a very beautiful castle and it is definitely worth visiting if you go to London to
learn about the history and the horror behind the castle.
Another amazing building to visit in London is Shakespeare’s Globe, it’s not a very old building
but it is an exact replica of the original building. The first globe sadly burnt down due to the
material the roof was made out of. The Globe was rebuilt in February 1614 and the company
could afford to decorate it more extravagantly. But in the 1970’s an American actor and director set
up the globe trust and 30 years later the globe was rebuilt the way it used to look.
Shakespeare’s globe is another amazing place to go see in London if you love theatre and
history.
The last thing to see is London is actually something that you can ride and it is called the
London Eye. It is one of the tallest ferris wheel from 1999 and it stands at 443 feet in the air.
The Ferris wheel goes in a full 360, and it gives you a full view of most of the city. When you get
on you need to get on fast because it is still moving when you are getting on. The ferris wheel is
built over the River Thames, London’s main river. While on the Ferris wheel you can see
Parliament and even Big Ben, and the real name for Big Ben is actual the Elizabeth Tower.
Another thing to see from the London Eye is Buckingham Palace which is an amazing palace.
There are so many other amazing things to see in London and it is a very beautiful place with
amazing history while some of it is interesting some of it can be scary and haunting! London is
an amazing travel destination!
